There is a lot to consider and you have to adjust but overall I usually follow these same rules.

Sunscreen and my phone. I burn very easy.

I eat fish but I don't eat bass. I would eat a lot more fish but the wife does not like it.There is only two type of fish she will eat. She will once in a great while eat cod or walleye but that is it. I would eat fish a couple of times a week if I could.

I usually go out at least twice a week. I fish local during the week and go on the longer trips on the weekend. Usually the day before I head out I'll get all my stuff together. I'll check the weather report and see the most current fishing report if there is one. I do think about fishing at work but I don't do it every minute. I may be getting bored with the work I am doing at that time or just tired so I'll think about maybe my last fishing trip and if I did anything wrong or good.

This is what I did for my wife (girlfriend at the time). I took her to a pay lake like place. I let her catch fish. That was my goal. I did not want to take her some place else and her lose interest. I'll never forget the look on her face when she reel in her first fish. It was a good size trout. I've never had to take her to a pay lake again. I feel it is very important that they catch something the first time out.

I'm not sure how to word this because I sometime have trouble explaining things. I'm not there with you or even know the water your fishing but it seems like you are doing this right. What I would do is learn the river a lot more. Learn everything you can about the river. Learn to read the water. If you do that you will have so much more of an idea where the bass are holding. There is so much water in a river but most of the river will have no bass or few bass.

The mobile site works great on my phone but the web and mobile site just does not work on my tablet. Just does not look right and too much zooming in or sliding from side to side. I use my tablet almost as much as my phone. I really don't know how much an app would cost to make but I do like the idea of tapatalk. I hear it's very easy to setup and I use it for a couple of other forums.

During the week I'll fish a very small lake that is about 10 minutes away from my house. I go different places during the weekend but the place I go to the most is about 30-45 minutes away. I will travel up to 3 hours sometimes on the weekend.
